Christmas is coming

Are you ready ?

Arabic

Christmas is coming very fast, it only seems like 5 minutes since last Christmas.
This year Christmas will have a touch of sadness.
With war in Gaza, the pictures we see on our TV screens and social media we may ask ourselves will there ever be peace?
The Christmas story is a wonderful story but it wasn't in a time of peace.
The Romans occupied the land and they were brutal.
Crucifixion was their punishment.
King Herod was also brutal, he feared another king to rival his throne,

So someone coming as king of the Jews was a threat.
Herod had all the baby boys killed in an attempt to keep his throne safe and secure.
This is the setting that Jesus came into the world. It wasn't peace on earth or goodwill towards men.
Today let us focus not on war and destruction but let us focus on that little baby that was born into the world.
Jesus the savior.
He came into the world and bled and died on a roman cross so that our sins might be forgiven.
All we need to do is call out and believe in his name.
Today Jesus can be the best Christmas present you receive.
